TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to a technology in the field of wireless communication. In particular to a method and device for eliminating co-frequency and adjacent-frequency interference in an analog domain.

BACKGROUND TECHNIQUE

Now that spectrum resources are increasingly scarce, the existing spectrum is expected to be fully utilized as much as possible, and more than one transmitting equipment of different frequency channels is often installed on the existing signal tower. Therefore, in practical applications, it is not uncommon for a device to be interfered with by signals from its own channel (e.g., channel N) and/or its adjacent channels (e.g., upper and lower adjacent channels, N±1). Especially when the device has a receiving antenna, when its receiving antenna collects useful signals, it is also likely to collect co-frequency signals transmitted by itself or adjacent-frequency interference signals of adjacent transmission points. Depending on the location and transmit power of the respective transmission points, these interfering signals may even be much stronger than the currently desired signal. These interference signals increase the noise floor of the current receiving channel N (co-channel and adjacent-channel interference), and may also saturate the receiving margin of the receiving antenna and related links including analog-to-digital converters and other devices so that the real received Channel N signals cannot be received effectively.

After searching the prior art, it is found that Chinese Patent Document No. CN102726013A discloses an echo cancellation system and a method for covering the on-frequency repeater of complementary points in the field of digital signal processing technology. Before the analog-to-analog converter, the elimination of strong echoes is completed by adding and subtracting analog signals in the analog domain. However, in this technology, after using a digital signal processor to restore the echo, it needs to perform digital-to-analog conversion and frequency conversion operations to obtain an analog signal and complete the echo cancellation in the analog domain. These operations will cause the noise floor of the signal to increase, the quality to be damaged, and the amplitude to be compressed due to the influence of the device's own dynamic range and indicators, thus affecting the performance of echo cancellation; and the reference signal used by this technology to generate echo signals is The digital signal in the digital signal processing module has not passed the steps of digital-to-analog conversion, up-conversion, power amplifier and antenna output in the up-conversion link in the actual transmission, and the return in the mixed signal received by the actual receiving antenna. Wave, there will be differences in delay, phase, and amplitude, and it is not a very ideal reference signal. Moreover, the technology does not compensate for differences in delay, phase, and amplitude. The result is that when the transmission chain is very long, the delay, phase, and amplitude are very different, which may exceed the range that the echo cancellation can handle so that the echo cannot be eliminated at all; most importantly, this technology can only To deal with the echo from itself, that is, the interference of the known signal, there is absolutely no way to deal with the interference of the other non-self-transmitted and unknown signals, such as other co-frequency or adjacent-frequency transmitted signals from the same transmission point. Interference, compared to the present invention, is extremely limited in application.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The present invention proposes an analog domain to eliminate co-frequency and adjacent-frequency interference in view of the situation in which the existing wireless communication device with receiving antenna receives valid signals through the receiving antenna and also receives interference signals of the same frequency or even adjacent frequencies. The method and device of the invention improve the quality of the signal received by the receiving antenna by introducing the same frequency and/or adjacent frequency as a reference signal in the analog domain for recovering the interference signal and then eliminating it in the radio frequency analog domain.

The present invention is achieved through the following technical solutions:

The invention relates to a method for eliminating co-frequency and adjacent-frequency interference in the analog domain. The wireless communication equipment with a receiving antenna, that is, the transmitting point of the main equipment, detects and judges the existing co-frequency and/or adjacent-frequency interference signal sources on site. In this case, the reference signal of the same frequency and/or adjacent frequency from the interference signal source is collected by means of a direct connection of the cable or by adding an antenna. Directly subtract the co-frequency and/or adjacent-frequency interference analog signal from the received signal received by the receiving antenna of the main device to complete the analog interference cancellation process, thereby obtaining the interference-eliminated radio frequency analog signal.

Described on-site detection and judgment refers to the transmission point of the main equipment, detecting whether there are other authorized signals on its frequency point F N and adjacent frequency points F_(N+m) and F_(Nm), and measuring the transmission point of the authorized signal. The strength judges whether it belongs to the interference signal.

For the interference signal, the judgment standard adopts but is not limited to: the signal strength is greater than the signal strength received by the receiving antenna of the main device or the signal strength is smaller than the signal strength received by the receiving antenna of the main device, but it will increase the signal strength received by the main device, noise, reducing the signal-to-noise ratio of the signal received by the main device, making the signal received by the main device unavailable.

The direct connection of the cable means that the signal source of the interference signal or its coupling output terminal is directly connected through the cable to directly obtain the interference signal as a reference signal.

The adding an antenna refers to adding an interference receiving antenna facing the direction of the interference signal in the main device to indirectly obtain the interference signal as a reference signal.

The method of direct connection of the cable is suitable for the situation where the interference signal source is not far from the main device, and the main signal or its coupled signal transmitted by the interference signal source can be obtained through the cable. The strength is stable, with complete interference signal content, which is beneficial to recovering the interference signal in the main device.

The above-mentioned method of adding an antenna is suitable for the situation where the transmitted signal of the interference signal source or its coupled output cannot be directly obtained, or the interference signal source is far away from the main device and has a large time delay. The signal is similar to the channel condition and time delay received by the receiving antenna of the master device, which is beneficial to recovering the interference signal in the master device.

The interference signal recovery processing refers to delaying and/or adjusting the phase and/or amplitude of the directly or indirectly acquired interference signal, thereby recovering the same-frequency and/or adjacent-frequency interference analog signal;

The analog interference cancellation processing refers to: in the analog domain, from the radio frequency signal received by the main antenna of the main device, the recovered co-frequency and/or adjacent-frequency interference analog signals are subtracted, so as to obtain the radio frequency analog signal that eliminates the interference. Signal, which adopts but is not limited to dynamic adjustment with an adder or combiner in the analog domain, so as to achieve the best performance of the radio frequency analog signal after eliminating interference, including but not limited to: measuring the radio frequency analog signal after eliminating interference to achieve the signal so that the noise ratio is the largest, or the effective power is the largest, or the shoulder is the largest, or the adjacent frequency suppression is the best.

The dynamic adjustment is based on the direction of the performance change of the RF analog signal after the interference is eliminated, and the inflection point is method, dichotomy, or a combination thereof for parameter iteration.

The exhaustive method refers to: for each control variable, within the adjustable range of the control variable, gradually try each of its optional control values, and after exhausting all the values, find the one with the most optimal effect. When the corresponding variable value is output as the control variable. The advantage of this method is naturally that it can find an optimal solution, but the disadvantage is that it needs to exhaust all the values, which will take more time.

The inflection point method refers to: within the adjustable range of the control variable, try each optional control value one by one in any direction (such as from small to large or from large to small), and find the inflection point by comparing the front and rear points, such as The effective power keeps getting smaller until it starts to get bigger, or the signal-to-noise ratio keeps getting bigger until it gets smaller. This recorded point is called the inflection point, and it is output as the control variable while giving up trying all the remaining possible values in the optional range; the advantage of this method is that it can find a point with a relatively better valid range, and it is relatively It saves time than the exhaustive method.

The dichotomy method refers to: within the adjustable range of the control variable, the minimum point, the middle point, and the maximum point whose values are equal to the range are used as the control signal. For example, the first time corresponds to 0.0.5*V_(max) and V_(max), compare which of the three points corresponds to the best signal, and then the next selected range will be searched in the range above and below this point and the range will be narrowed to 50% of the original. For example, the best effect is the point corresponding to 0, then select 0, 0.25*V_(max), and 0.5*V_(max) for the three points of the next selected test; when the best effect is the point corresponding to 0.5*V_(max), then the next three test points selected are 0.25*V_(max), 0.5*V_(max), and 0.75*V_(max); when the best effect is the point corresponding to V mu, then the next three test points selected are 0.5*V_(max), 0.75*V_(max), and V_(max) three points. Determine the range of the next time by dividing each time, and reducing it to 50% of the previous time. This method can quickly narrow the search range and greatly reduce the number of points that need to be tried until the optimal point is finally confirmed. Compared with the inflection point method, results will be obtained faster.

The present invention relates to a system for eliminating co-frequency and/or adjacent-frequency interference in the analog domain, comprising: an interference signal recovery module and an interference recovery control module, wherein: an input end of the interference signal recovery module receives at least a The same-frequency and/or adjacent-frequency interference analog signal outputted by an interference signal is subtracted from the main received signal received by the receiving antenna of the main device and used as the input of the interference recovery control module and the subsequent processing module. The interference recovery control module obtains according to the calculation The indicator change trend results of the output control signal are output to the interference signal recovery module to adjust/confirm the specific operations and parameters involved in the recovery process. Signal subtraction is the RF analog signal that eliminates interference.

At least one interference signal, when there are more than two interference signals, such as the same frequency and the upper and lower adjacent frequencies, are connected to different interference signal sources through corresponding cable connections or additional receiving antennas, so as to be directly or indirectly obtained as reference signals. The interfering signal; and the interfering signal recovery module controls the sequence of interfering signal recovery and the corresponding reference signal.

The signal recovery module includes: a delay adjustment sub-module, a phase adjustment sub-module, and an amplitude adjustment sub-module that are respectively connected to the interference recovery control module and receives their control signals, wherein the delay adjustment sub-module is used to adjust the interference reference signal and The delay between the radio frequency signals received by the receiving antenna of the local master device, the phase adjustment, and amplitude adjustment sub-modules are used to adjust the phase and amplitude of the interference reference signal, so as to be as close as possible to the interference signal contained in the received signal, so as to accurately To complete the interference recovery and interference cancellation, the control signal includes the selection and use of sub-modules and the sequence, interference delay settings, phase adjustment, and amplitude adjustment settings.

Usually, the delay depends on the relative position of the receiving antenna of the master device and the interference signal source, and the way of obtaining the interference reference. The relative position is far, the delay is relatively large; the relative position is close, and the delay is relatively small. If the interference reference signal is obtained by using a specially designed reference receiving antenna, the relative positions of the reference receiving antenna and the main antenna need to be checked.

The interference recovery control module calculates the indicators of the subtracted results, including but not limited to signal-to-noise ratio, effective power, shoulder or adjacent frequency suppression, etc., and adjusts the sub-modules according to the change size and direction of the performance indicators. Select the use and order, delay settings, phase adjustment, and amplitude adjustment settings.

The adjustment specifically includes: firstly, setting a user-defined adjustable range and adjustable step size for the control signals of time delay, phase, and amplitude, and then firstly using the exhaustive method, the inflection points for a variable in the control signal each time, method, dichotomy method, or their combination to obtain the optimal solution that optimizes the signal effect; after fixing the variable, use the same method to obtain the optimal solution one by one for the remaining variables.

For the adjustment, it is preferable to first adjust the delay, then adjust the phase, and finally adjust the amplitude, or first adjust the phase and amplitude, and then adjust the delay last, or in order to pursue the best results, after the initial round results are obtained, one round, Optimize the adjustment of each variable.

The adjustment is preferably performed in an adjustable step size manner.

The interference-eliminated radio frequency analog signal is further used to convert into a baseband digital signal for digital signal processing such as echo cancellation and finally output through a transmitting antenna after digital-to-analog conversion, up-conversion, and power amplification.

Technical Effect

Compared with the prior art, the unexpected technical effects produced by the present invention include: 1) The reference signal is obtained by means of a direct connection of the cable or a dedicated antenna, so the interference signal that the present invention can handle is not limited to the self-transmitting signal caused by It can also deal with more co-frequency and/or adjacent-frequency interference caused by other local transmission signals, which is greatly expanded compared with the interference range that the prior art can deal with; 2) For co-frequency and/or

Technical the interference of adjacent frequencies is directly carried out in the analog domain in the form of radio frequency signals. Compared with the interference in the digital baseband processing in the prior art, the present invention can effectively avoid the dynamic range and dynamic range of the analog-to-digital conversion device and the down-conversion device in the down-conversion link. The accuracy is saturated by the strong interference signal, which greatly deteriorates the performance of the useful signal and cannot be effectively recovered. Therefore, compared with the existing technology, it can resist the interference of greater intensity; 3) The reference signal is directly connected through the cable or by adding an antenna. What is obtained is an analog signal, which is closer to the actual interference signal received by the main receiving antenna than the prior art to recover the interference signal by using the baseband digital signal as a reference. Moreover, the present invention also has built-in delay adjustment, phase adjustment, and amplitude adjustment sub-modules, which can further optimize the acquired interference reference signal, so that the actual interference signal is closer: 4) The recovery process of the reference signal does not need to pass through the Links such as analog/digital change, frequency up and down conversion, etc., reduce the deterioration of noise floor, quality damage and amplitude compression caused by the performance limitation of analog equipment, thereby improving the effect of interference cancellation.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF INVENTION Example 1

As shown in FIG. 1 , this embodiment relates to co-channel interference cancellation applied to a co-frequency repeater system.

The co-frequency repeater is used to amplify the useful signal from the remote main tower received by the receiving antenna and transmit it again to improve local area coverage. Usually, the receiving antenna of the co-frequency repeater will receive the interference of the co-frequency signal sent by its own transmitting antenna while receiving the effective signal, which is called echo, and the echo signal is often stronger than the received main signal. The signal is much stronger and therefore belongs to the interference signal described in the present invention.

For example, in this embodiment, the frequency of the repeater is channel 25, which is set up on a hillside, more than 80 kilometers away from the main TV signal transmission tower of the same channel 25, and because the hillside is blocked, the received signal is transmitted from the main TV. The useful signal of the tower is weak (−60 dbm) and cannot achieve effective local coverage, so the repeater is added to implement supplementary coverage. The target transmits the power of this repeater is 100 w.

For example, in this embodiment, the repeater is located in an independent transmitter room on the hillside, and the equipment room is located between the main transmitter station and the coverage area of the point to be patched. The receiving antenna of the main equipment of the repeater, that is, the main receiving antenna is set up at a height of 9 meters on the roof of the transmitter room, which is a directional receiving antenna facing the direction of the main TV signal tower. The horizontal distance between the main transmitting antenna and the main receiving antenna of the repeater is more than 25 meters, and the height difference is more than 7 meters. It is a directional antenna facing the coverage area that needs to be supplemented and is in the opposite direction to the main transmitting antenna.

It can be seen that factors such as antenna orientation, antenna polarity, antenna distance, and height difference have been fully planned in the early stage of the site construction to improve the isolation between the transceiver antennas. When the current isolation between the main transceiver antennas is 75 db, the strength of the useful received signal (excluding echoes) is −60 dbm. Then when no echo cancellation technology is used, the echo received by the main receiving antenna needs to be at least 5 dB lower than the useful signal to work. From this calculation, the maximum transmittable power can only be −60−5+75=10 dbm, that is, 0.01 w, which basically belongs to ultra-low power transmission, and the distance from the target power of 100 w is too far to complete the coverage point target. When the existing digital echo cancellation technology is used inside the repeater, depending on the technical solution and processing capability of the equipment used, when the echo is 10−15 db, the transmit power can be up to −60+15+75=30 dBm, or 1 w, is still far from meeting the coverage requirements. Therefore, when the original 100 w transmission target is to be achieved, it is equivalent to that the main receiving antenna will receive at least 50−75=−25 dbm of echoes after considering the antenna isolation, which is equivalent to a higher intensity than the useful signal (−60 dbm) is 35 dB higher.

Such a large echo, let alone the existing digital echo cancellation technology and equipment on the market cannot be eliminated at all. The effective signal dynamic range of the frequency converter and the analog-to-digital/digital-to-analog converter in the signal up-conversion link is usually only 50 dB or so, when if there is an echo that is 35 dB stronger than the main signal, the effective main signal range is only 15 dB. Even if the echo can be eliminated, the quality of the residual signal has been seriously damaged. Even if the signal quality is amplified to the ideal output The power output cannot be effectively received at the receiver end, which makes the same-frequency forwarding to improve coverage meaningless.

In this embodiment, the same-frequency interference from the repeater transmitting antenna itself is introduced in the analog domain as the reference signal proposed by the present invention, and the interference signal is recovered and processed in the analog domain to obtain the same-frequency interference analog signal, and then continue to In the analog domain, the signal received by the main receiving antenna is subtracted from the recovered co-channel interference analog signal, so as to directly complete the interference processing in the analog domain in the form of a radio frequency signal, and obtain a radio frequency analog signal that has eliminated the interference.

In this embodiment, the source of the interference signal comes from the signal transmitted by itself and belongs to the known signal at the same transmission point. Therefore, the radio frequency signal can be coupled from the radio frequency signal and finally output to the transmitting antenna by the cable directly, and through the cable, directly input the interference signal recovery module as the reference signal. The advantage of this is that the interference reference signal strength is stable, the signal content is complete, and other interference signals will not be mixed. However, because the speed of electromagnetic waves propagating in the air is different from that in other media (such as cables), it is affected by the relative permittivity of the media used, so the received interference reference signal and the main reception of the repeater The echoes in the signal received by the antenna may have delays and different phases. At the same time, there may be differences in amplitude between antenna reception and cable coupling. Therefore, corresponding interference signal recovery processing is required.

In this embodiment, the delay adjustment of the interference reference signal from the cable can be prioritized, so as to correct the difference between the direct connection between the main receiving antenna and the cable due to the transmission speed of electromagnetic waves, and the distance between the straight propagation of electromagnetic waves and the connection through the cable, delay. The value of the delay can be estimated by engineering, and a relatively low delay estimate can be preset as the initial value, and then the exhaustive method will be used to gradually increase the delay with a predetermined step size until the optimal value is found, delay. The phase adjustment can be performed by the inflection point method. First, the adjustable range, minimum step size, and initial value are preset, and then based on the initial value, the phase is increased in one direction with a variable step size, ratio increases, the effective power increases, the shoulders become better, etc.), then judge the direction is correct, and continue to try in the same direction; if it is found that the effect begins to deteriorate at a certain point, it proves that it is close to the inflection point, and it should be reduced at this time. Step size, exploring at the edge of the inflection point until it settles at a point where the effect is optimal to determine the phase adjustment. Finally, after the delay and phase are restored because the direct connection of the cable does not introduce other interference sources, the amplitude comparison between the main receiving antenna signal and the delayed and phase-corrected interference reference signal can be performed directly, and then Amplitude adjustment is directly realized. After completing the above operations in sequence, it is possible to determine whether the second round of adjustment and optimization is required by detecting the current signal quality to see if it meets the preset target or industry standard regulations. The selection and use of all sub-modules, the sequence, including but not limited to the initial value, adjustable range, step size, direction, and other variables, all come from the control signal of the interference recovery control module, which is calculated by the interference control recovery module according to the performance indicators, adjust and control in real-time.

The recovered interference signal is sent to be subtracted from the radio frequency signal received by the main receiving antenna of the repeater in this embodiment, so as to obtain a radio frequency analog signal with which the interference has been eliminated. On the one hand, the RF analog signal is sent to the interference recovery control module to complete the generation of the interference control signal: on the other hand, it is further sent to the subsequent processing module. For repeaters, the subsequent processing module may include down-conversion and analog-to-digital conversion, digital echo cancellation, signal amplification, digital-to-analog conversion, and up-conversion operations, and finally complete the point coverage through the output of the main transmitting antenna. Before entering the subsequent processing module for analog-to-digital/digital-to-analog conversion and frequency up and down conversion, echo cancellation has been carried out in the analog domain radio frequency, which greatly reduces the possibility that the effective dynamic range of the processing module device is saturated by strong interference signals. The situation that leads to the deterioration of signal quality ensures the quality of subsequent signals.

Before the analog domain, the co-channel interference elimination technology of the present invention is not adopted, this site can only deal with 10-15 db echoes through digital processing at most, and achieve a maximum transmit power of 1 w. By adopting the present invention, this station can eliminate echoes of at least 25 db-30 dB in the analog domain, and then use the existing digital echo cancellation technology to process the residual echoes in the digital domain, so as to eliminate the overall echo received by the repeater. The obtained 35 dB echo, so that the transmit power of the whole machine is −60+35+75=50 dBm, i.e., 100 w, and the transmit power is at least 100 times (20 db) higher than the prior art without the present invention. At the same time, the quality of the transmitted signal can still be effectively guaranteed, even if the echo is 35 db, it can still have a signal quality of at least 20 dB. When the echo is less than 25 dB, the signal quality is basically not damaged. Fully meet the requirements of a point-to-point launch. As shown in FIG. 2 , the shoulder attenuation is 53.6Ω on the left side, 60.8Ω on the right side, and the carrier frequency offset is −0.2 Hz for the effect of MER to 20 dB after analog/digital echo cancellation at 35 dB.

Example 2

As shown in FIG. 3 , the present embodiment involves the elimination of adjacent frequency interference: the main transmitting device with the receiving antenna is simultaneously interfered with by the adjacent upper and lower adjacent frequency broadcast signals.

In this embodiment, the main transmitting device has one main receiving antenna and one main transmitting antenna, and the transmit power is only 10 w (40 dbm). Because the transmitted and received signals are not on the same frequency point and are far apart, that is, there is no need to deal with co-channel interference caused by their own transmitting antennas. However, on the same transmitting tower of the main device, there is also a transmitting antenna for broadcasting signals working on its upper and lower adjacent frequencies, and it is an omnidirectional antenna with a large transmitting power (2 kw, corresponding to 63 dbm), so even after the bandpass of the transmitter Filter, the adjacent frequency interference of a single transmitter to its upper or lower adjacent frequency, that is, the main transmitting device in this embodiment, still reaches 27 dbm (63−36=27 dbm, where 63 dbm is the broadcast transmission signal power, and 36 dB is the broadcast transmission signal power. The interference of the transmitted signal to the upper and lower adjacent frequencies) is superimposed. The interference of the upper and lower adjacent frequencies received in this embodiment to its transmission band is as high as 30 dbm, which is only 10 db lower than the 40 dbm of its own transmission signal, which exceeds the threshold that it can work, therefore, in this embodiment, the main transmitting device must process the received upper and lower adjacent frequency interference signals, otherwise, it will not work.

In this embodiment, the interference of the upper and lower adjacent frequencies introduced in the analog domain by adding an antenna as proposed by the present invention is used as a reference signal, and the interference analog signal of the upper and lower adjacent frequencies is obtained through the restoration and processing of the interference signal, and then the main and upper adjacent frequencies are obtained in the analog domain. The received signal is subtracted from the upper and lower adjacent frequency interference analog signals, so as to complete the analog interference elimination processing in the radio frequency, and obtain the radio frequency analog signal with the interference eliminated, specifically:

Step 1) The main transmitting device adds two reference receiving antennas (respectively marked as reference receiving antenna #1 and #2) toward the upper and lower adjacent frequency interference signal sources (in this embodiment, the broadcast transmission signals of the upper and lower adjacent frequencies), and directly The transmit antennas of the two adjacent frequencies from which the interference signal source comes from are directed to obtain the upper and lower adjacent frequency interference signals. Because the original receiving antenna of the reference receiving antenna and the main transmitting device the antennas are all at the same transmitting point, and the distances between them and the two adjacent frequency transmitting antennas are similar, so the delay adjustment module is optional (phase compensation can be used when the delay is not large).

In actual operation, between the two references receiving antenna #1 and #2, only the interference signal of one reference antenna can be input to the interference signal recovery module at a time. The handover control is completed by the interference recovery control module. The interference processing order can be determined according to the magnitude of each interference. The determination of the size of the interference can be realized by on-site measurement and engineering estimation. For example, the interference signal recovery may be performed first on the upper adjacent frequency with greater interference (set as the signal brought by the reference receiving antenna 1).

Step 2) When the confirmation delay is small and can be ignored, the phase adjustment is performed first, for example, the dichotomy method can be adopted:

i) First define the range of phase adjustment, such as 0 to 256 degrees, that is, the minimum point is 0 degrees, the middle point is 128 degrees, and the maximum point is 256 degrees, respectively, as control signals, compare the corresponding phase adjustment, which point corresponds to The signal effect is the best (the adjacent frequency has the least interference to the transmitting signal, the signal-to-noise ratio of the transmitting signal is the best, the effective power is the largest, the shoulder is the best, etc.).

ii) When the corresponding effect of 128 degrees is the best, the three points to be tried in the next step are changed to 64 degrees, 128 degrees, and 192 degrees, and the differences in the corresponding effects of these three points are compared again.

iii) When the effect of 192 degrees is the best this time, change the three points to be tried in the next step to 160 degrees, 192 degrees, and 224 degrees, and so on, until the step size is reduced to the minimum preset step size, or the range is reduced to the minimum range to determine the optimal phase adjustment.

Step 3) When the phase adjustment is completed, then the amplitude is adjusted: for example, when using the exhaustive method, first define the amplitude difference range, such as 0-20 dB, and then in a predetermined step size (such as 0.25 db), try the amplitude adjustment variable to 0, 0.25 in turn dB, 0.5 db . . . until the max value of 20 db is reached. In this process, the corresponding amplitude parameter is recorded, and the obtained signal has the best effect, so in determining the optimal amplitude adjustment.

Step 4) Determine whether the second round of adjustment and optimization is required by detecting the current signal quality to see if it complies with the preset or industry standard regulations.

The selection and use of all sub-modules, the sequence, including but not limited to the initial value, adjustable range, step size, direction, and other variables, all come from the control signal of the interference recovery control module, which is calculated by the interference control recovery module according to the performance indicators, adjust and control in real-time.

Step 5) Complete the restoration and elimination of the interference reference of the upper adjacent frequency, and obtain a radio frequency analog signal with the interference of the upper adjacent frequency eliminated. In this case, the interference recovery and cancellation of the interference reference signal obtained from the lower adjacent frequency can be performed in a similar manner. When it is the turn of the interference signal source, input the interference signal received by the corresponding antenna into the interference signal recovery module. The order of the algorithm and variable adjustment for the control signal production of different interference signal sources can be the same or can be adjusted according to the actual effect. In addition to the second round of adjustment and optimization for the same interference source and multiple control variables (delay, phase, amplitude) after the initial round of adjustment, it is also possible to restart after multiple interference sources have ended. One round of optimization for each, for example, do the upper adjacent frequency first, and then do the lower adjacent frequency. After both are completed, based on the existing adjustment results, the upper adjacent frequency and/or interference cancellation are optimized to obtain the comprehensive best, of result.

For this embodiment, before using the analog domain interference cancellation technology of the present invention, the in-band interference of the upper and lower adjacent frequencies to the main transmitting device is as high as 30 dbm and can be effectively eliminated. After adopting the present invention, the upper and lower adjacent frequencies can be eliminated by at least 23.28 dB echo in the analog domain, as shown in the following table.

TABLE 1 MAME POWER Main Signal 40.12 dBm Noise Level 30.04 dBm Output Level 40.41 dBm Noise Cancellation 23.28 dB

Compared with before the application of the present invention, the interference is reduced to 7% of the former, so that the main transmitting device meets the transmission quality requirements and can transmit 40 dbm power.

Example 3

As shown in FIG. 4 , this embodiment is applied to the situation where the co-frequency repeater system suffers from co-frequency interference and upper and lower adjacent frequency interference at the same time.

In this embodiment, the interference signal includes the same-frequency echo signal from the transmitting antenna of the repeater, which is 35 dB higher than the main signal, and also includes the echo signal from the same transmitting tower and working on the upper and lower adjacent frequencies. The 30 dBm adjacent channel interference is generated by the omnidirectional antenna of the broadcast signal. When the analog domain interference elimination method of the present invention is not adopted, it will not work normally.

For the co-channel interference in this embodiment, the source of the interference signal comes from the echo generated by the signal transmitted by itself, which belongs to the known signal. Therefore, it can be directly output from the repeater to the radio frequency signal of the transmitting antenna through the direct connection of the cable. The interference signal 1 is coupled out and is directly input to the interference signal recovery module 1 through the cable for subsequent processing.

For the upper and lower adjacent frequency interference in this embodiment, the signals that are not transmitted by themselves belong to unknown signals. Therefore, two reference receiving antennas (respectively marked as reference receiving antennas) toward the upper and lower adjacent frequency interference signal sources can be added through the repeater, 1 and 2), obtain the interference signal 2 and input it to the interference signal recovery module 2 for subsequent processing.

In this embodiment, the interference processing order of the simultaneously received co-frequency and upper and lower adjacent frequencies may be determined according to the respective interference magnitudes. The determination of the size of the interference can be realized by on-site measurement and engineering estimation. When the co-channel interference received in this embodiment is greatly affected, the co-channel interference is considered to be processed first. The interference signal 1 directly connected from the cable is input into the interference signal recovery module 1 to perform interference signal recovery processing including delay adjustment, phase adjustment, and amplitude adjustment.

The sequence of delay adjustment, phase adjustment, and amplitude adjustment can be optimized and determined according to on-site conditions. For example, delay adjustment can be done by engineering estimation of the preset delay range (such as 0 to 100 ns) and step size (such as Ins), and then by exhaustive method (try 0 ns, 1 ns . . . until 100 ns in sequence) to determine the optimal delay Adjustment. The phase adjustment can be narrowed from the full range to a rough range (such as 45 degrees to 75 degrees) by first using the bisection method, and then the optimal phase can be measured by the exhaustive method in this range. The amplitude adjustment can also use the inflection point method. Within the preset range, try the optional values one by one in a certain direction, and find the inflection point (that is, the effect becomes better or worse at a certain point) by comparing the front and rear points. In the inflection point method, a variable step size can also be used, and after the inflection point region is found, the amplitude can be increased or decreased by decreasing the step size and going back and forth until the optimal amplitude adjustment is achieved. After the above adjustments are completed in sequence, it can be determined whether the second round of adjustment and optimization is required by detecting the current signal quality to see whether it meets the preset target or industry standard regulations.

The selection and use of all sub-modules, the sequence, including but not limited to the initial value, adjustable range, step size, direction, and other variables, all come from the control signal of the interference recovery control module, which is calculated by the interference control recovery module according to the performance indicators, adjust and control in real-time.

1 output by the interference signal recovery module 1 is subtracted from the main reception signal received by the main receiving antenna of the repeater to obtain a radio frequency analog signal that eliminates the same-frequency interference signal and is input to the interference recovery control module 1, the interference recovery control module 1 calculates the comprehensive performance of the input signal (signal-to-noise ratio, effective power, band shoulder, adjacent frequency suppression, etc.) The control signals for setting, phase adjustment, and amplitude adjustment are output back to the interference signal recovery module 1 again.

After the co-channel interference is eliminated, it is determined that the residual lower adjacent frequency interference is relatively large, and the lower adjacent frequency interference can be eliminated first. At this time, the reference receiving antenna is switched to the reference receiving antenna corresponding to the lower adjacent frequency (as antenna 2), and the interference signal 2 is obtained and input to the interference signal recovery module 2. According to the control signal from the interference control module 2, the delay, phase, and amplitude adjustments are performed in the interference signal recovery module 2 respectively, and the interference analog signal 2 is obtained and sent to the second subtractor, which is the same as the radio frequency that has eliminated the same frequency interference. The signals are subtracted, and the obtained radio frequency analog signal is input to the interference recovery control module 2 to generate a control signal for controlling the interference signal recovery module 2.

Similarly, after the lower adjacent channel interference is eliminated, the reference receiving antenna is switched to another reference receiving antenna (it is antenna 1), and the above operations are repeated.

When there is more than one interference source that affects the transmitting signal of the repeater, the reference signal can also be introduced by adding a direct connection of cable or multi-channel dedicated antenna, and the interference signal can be restored and eliminated in the above-mentioned manner. When it is the turn of the interference signal source, the interference signal received by the corresponding cable or antenna is input to the corresponding interference signal recovery module. The order of the algorithm and variable adjustment for the control signal production of different interference signal sources can be the same or can be adjusted according to the actual effect. In addition to the second round of adjustment and optimization of multiple control variables (phase, amplitude) for the same interference source after the initial round of adjustment, it is also possible to perform a new round of adjustment after multiple interference sources have ended. The respective optimizations, for example, do the same frequency first, then the lower adjacent frequency, and then the upper adjacent frequency. After all, based on the existing adjustment results, optimize the interference elimination of the same frequency, the lower adjacent frequency, and the upper adjacent frequency, in order to obtain the best overall results.
